Limitations — stated honestly
- Numbers are drawn onto the page; they become part of the PDF and cannot be removed by this tool afterwards.
- Numbers are placed in the page margin area and may overlap content that already fills the very edge of a page.
- The numbering counts every page from the starting number, including cover pages, unless you extract pages first.
Frequently asked questions

- Yes — set any starting number between 0 and 99999.
- Can I add a prefix?
- Yes — for example, entering 'Page ' produces 'Page 1', 'Page 2', and so on.
- Does this upload my file?
- No. Numbering runs entirely in your browser.
